'94 - Houston trades Horry to Detroit for Sean Elliot

[Holt's Cat]

Houston had Hakeem, Drexler, Horry, and Cassell in '95, plus Elie. Spurs had DRob, Elliott, and Rodman.

The long and short of it was that the Spurs' perimeter game was lacking, and predictably, they were dropped before the Finals.

I honestly don't know if I can give you 92/93. Our main players were Hakeem, Thorpe, Maxwell, Smith and Horry (who was a rookie). The main bench players were Herrera, Bullard and Sleepy Floyd. The Spurs had Robinson, Elliott, Ellis and Carr. Your bench wasn't all that either, but those squads look pretty even to me.

93/94 you lost Elliott but got Rodman. We picked up a rookie Cassell and Elie. I would still say those were pretty even squads. Then again, I consider Rodman to be a HOF type player if you don't consider the off the court antics.

Thorpe was an all-star, Elliott was an all-star. Outside of that, Maxwell, Smith and Horry were all better than anything the Spurs had at that point. All Ellis could do was shoot the 3 (terrible defender, awful rebouder), and he didn't even shot that well in the playoffs that year. Carr was big, and ..... what else is there? Did you also noticed that all the decent players were forwards? How about Avery Johnson (who was cut by Houston the year before)? Vinny Del Negro? Who could spread the floor? Who could bring the ball upcout and run the offense? Who can play defense outside of Robinson and Elliott? The other team's SG and SF blew past Del Negro and Ellis at will, and the PGs can post up AJ all day.
Lloyd Daniels as your saviour? Jerry Tarkanian as your coach? That was without question the worst Spurs team in the Robinson era, and it wasn't even close.
But guess what? Robinson took them to 49 wins, and still made the playoffs.

I'm looking forward to watching whottt vs timvp on the next UFC ppv.

First of all head, Robinson couldnt and didnt lead his team to any les. Not till Tim came around did he ride the coattails to one.

Secondly, stupid. Hakeem Owned Robinson in their 95 "mvp" showdown. NO the Rox DID not double Robinson, and no Shaq never had to have a double team to "hold down" Robinson either.

Ive been watching Ball since you were a seed in your daddy's sack. Back When Moses was a Rocket and Gervin was the second smoothest MOFO from within five feet of the hoop next to Dr J.

You use NO facts to back your asininely idiotic claims. Like in 2001's playoff. Remind me of ho many times Shaq fouled out in that series? Remind me who got swept in that series. Moron. Let me help you out.

The Rox beat up the Best team in the League that year in the Spurs. Hakeem, pretty much single handidly crushed the Spurs that series. I mean unless you think averaging 36 PPG isnt getting it done.

DRob was handed Hakeems MVP that year, and then took the anal beating in that series. Sorry, two missed freethrows from Sean didnt make that series. Unless the three other games the Rox won were flukes too. Either way, until Tim came around DRob was know for NOTHING other than putting up good numbers and never delivering a championship. Good thing Tim came around when he did.

Whott also thinks the Iraq War is a good idea. You're just wasting keystrokes on a re ed .
